The lifespan of mortals was very short. If one did not have the opportunity and ability, one might not be able to achieve anything great in their lifetime. Even with these conditions, if one did not have enough perseverance and intelligence, one might not be able to achieve great things.
Mages were different.
Mages had a very long lifespan, even infinite.
Moreover, mages were very capable and had abundant resources. As long as they had the opportunity and perseverance, mages would definitely be able to achieve great things. It just depended on how big this undertaking was. In peaceful days, a Mage might not improve for a hundred million years, or go into hibernation for a hundred million years. On the other hand, in magnificent times, they might have a year's worth of progress in a day, and a year would be the result of a thousand years of cultivation.
Talent and comprehension were the most important factors for mages to leap forward.
However, that only belonged to geniuses.
True, unlimited perseverance to cultivate was the standard for success for ordinary mages.
The mages' competition was different from mortal sports competitions because when mortals were weak, there was an end and a gold medal. Mages did not have these. The mages' competition was not over, and there was no gold medal. There were only two things: leading or falling behind!
Therefore, the mages' competition was not over.
In the past.
The God of the Arcane, Åling, had once set off a cultivation frenzy. At that time, the achievements of the mages were greater than ten thousand years, and everyone's progress was unimaginably fast. It was like the founding of an ancient kingdom, with many famous generals and ministers. However, after Åling's death, this wave slowly stopped. It was like the dynasty had entered a period of stability, and there were no famous generals or ministers.
Everyone understood the reason: because there was no competition.
In the natural world.
If a leopard only competed with a pig, it would not be able to run fast. Because pigs were slow, it could eat its fill even if it ran slowly. In its growth, it only needed to be a little faster than a pig. On the other hand, if a leopard needed to race with a deer, it had to be fast. If it was slow, it would starve to death.
Mages were not leopards.
However, the logic was the same.
If all mages were around 50 points, you would be in the top if you had 60 points, and did not need to work hard. It did not exclude the fact that some people worked especially hard, but, on a large scale, everyone was satisfied with the limit of 60 points. On the other hand, if all mages were 80 points, you would need 90 points to be in the top. If you maintain 60 points, sorry, you will be eaten, you will be killed, and you will be forced to become a slave.
In Åling's era, the weak did not even dare to open their mouths. They could only grit their teeth and cultivate with all their might.
After Åling's death, everyone was at ease. It was another 600,000 years.
Now.
The craftsmen of the Kunpeng Alliance had the same result. In the past, if they scored 60 points, they would be considered great masters. Now, in Kunpeng, 60 points? Hehe, you would be embarrassed to be an apprentice. All the other craftsmen were aiming for more than 90 points. How could you stay at 60 points? Either get lost or study hard. There was no third option.
As soon as the Origin Plan appeared, the Sovereigns knew that the Åling era had returned.
Or hide.
Or they could cultivate with all their might.
If he still wanted to dominate the void with a standard of 60 points, it would not be surprising that he would be pulled down from his throne by a group of second-rate mages many years later.
The trends of the times were ruthless.
It didn't care who was right or wrong.
When diligence becomes the trend of the times, laziness is bound to disappear. Vice versa. When laziness becomes the trend, diligent people will also be outliers who cannot achieve anything. Why were some mage forces not stupid, but why did they keep making mistakes when doing things? The reason was simple. The internal 'trend' was to not do anything, to be lazy, and to even hinder others from doing things.
The ancient demon beast race, the Source Iron Beast Alliance, the Gu group. They were not stupid, but their trend was in the wrong direction.
The scarecrow stood at the front of the Mage Net, sheltering them from the wind and rain.
So.
The mages were grateful and helped the Mage Net expand and develop.
Gu Zu hid the deepest, only caring about his own benefits.
So.
The members of the Gu group were all for themselves. The Gu group as a whole had nothing to do with themselves.
This was not because the Mage Net members were of high quality, but because the trend of the Mage Net allowed them to advance step by step. If Gu Zu did the same thing as the scarecrow, the Gu group members would follow him loyally. But, did he dare? No, he did not dare.
Or rather, he did not care about the lives of others, as long as he lived well, it was fine.
Palaeopithecus' crazy development.
Very reasonable.
Although it was a member of the Gu group, although it received benefits from the Gu formation. But, it was like using money to buy a friend, hoping that the friend would treat you sincerely when you have no money. Sorry … you were thinking too much. That kind of friendship was only a commodity, when there was no money, the commodity would naturally disappear. Gu Zu only used benefits to rope in the Gu group members. When Palaeopithecus found that its benefits were greater, it naturally chose to do it alone.
Tang Shidao chose Palaeopithecus as a chess piece.
Firstly, it had low self-esteem, it was most suitable to reverse the situation.
Secondly, the Gu group was the most difficult to maintain stability in this huge tide, it would not collapse, but it would definitely sway. As long as there was a bit of pressure and push, the Gu group's internal turmoil would be unavoidable.
Tang Shidao did not expect Palaeopithecus to succeed, he only needed it to 'fish out' some important people.
In fact.
Palaeopithecus was more outstanding than expected … No, it should be said that the Gu group was more unstable than expected. When Palaeopithecus raised its arm, followers gathered. At first, everyone came for benefits, but as the Primordial Plan developed, this group of rulers who wanted benefits rose the fastest. Soon, they started to 'inflate'.
They were at the forefront of the trend of the times.
In an instant.
Something called 'ambition' quickly sprouted, grew, and flourished. While his strength was growing, his ambition was also burning fiercely.
"Bai Lao, I feel like I can fight Gu Eighteen alone." Lan Lao Jiao was the second strongest person, his cultivation speed was faster than Palaeopithecus.
"Not enough." Palaeopithecus was much calmer after more than ten years.
"My strength is not inferior to his."
"Right. But you don't have an ancient artifact, he does. More importantly, Gu Eighteen is just Gu Eighteen, there is still Gu Seventeen, Sixteen, and even Four Three Two One. Our God-Demon Alliance has not grown for long, we need to accumulate strength. There is no point in taking down Gu Eighteen. We need the support of the Gu group. "Palaeopithecus mastered the Great Annihilation Technique: Infinite Destruction.
At this point, it felt like it had evolved, as if it had the Mad God's ability to dominate the void.
Of course, this was an illusion.
The Mad God had the Godly Body of Annihilation. Only Tang Shidao and the Scarecrow knew this.
Palaeopithecus' strength had indeed grown, but it was still far from the Mad God's level. More than ten years was enough for a generation in the mortal world to grow. After being the boss for so long, Palaeopithecus was naturally a bit arrogant. Infinite Destruction was indeed terrifying, so it was not strange that Palaeopithecus was a bit arrogant.
"Tomorrow is the rezoning. Are we not going to do anything?" Lan Lao Jiao did not want to cause trouble.
It said this on purpose to make Palaeopithecus keep a low profile.
Develop wretchedly.
Don't be reckless.
"We can fight, but don't make a big fuss." Palaeopithecus felt that it had gained strength, it could wrestle.
"Fight with Gu Eighteen?" Lan Lao Jiao's heart sank.
"No, with someone else." Palaeopithecus said mysteriously, as if he had complete control of the situation.
The others did not say anything, they knew this boss was not reliable.
However, the God-Demon Alliance had the strength to 'speak' now.
They could make a move.
The next day.
The Gu group started the new ten year plan's division. This division was not the division of the void, the Gu group did not have this ability. The division was mainly for the distribution of Gu formations. To put it bluntly, it was an excuse to 'redistribute benefits'. If a race became stronger, it was impossible to eat a small piece of the cake. If a race became weaker, it was not realistic to eat a large piece of meat.
The Gu group had a habit of changing the plates every once in a while, whoever had the ability to eat more would eat more.
Weaklings? Who cares if they died, the Gu group had no sympathy.
Gu Eighteen was the host of the distribution.
As usual.
He would first investigate each race's strength before distributing them to each clan. If a race hid their strength, it would be bad, they would have to take the blame themselves. During the great cultivation craze, this change was even greater, Gu Eighteen needed ten times the effort to deal with it. The Gu group was not made up of ten or eight clans, or hundreds or thousands of them. The total number was so huge that it made one's hair stand on end.
In this situation, it was easy to fight for first place, but hard to decide who would be the tenth.
Often, the first few positions would not change, but the middle would have a huge dispute, there was a possibility of a fight happening.
"… No one has any objections to the division, right?" Gu Eighteen handled it carefully.
This was the most chaotic time, it could not be chaotic.
After all.
No one would complain about having too many benefits, they would only complain about having too little. It could be said that Gu Eighteen had used all his effort to arrange this, he had achieved the most perfect result.
But.
"Sir Gu Eighteen, I object." With a glance, a ruler called Old Green Rhinoceros stood up.
He shouted.
The venue shook.
All the rulers had the same expression: the troublemaker was here.
"Oh, I wonder what Bai Lao Rhinoceros is dissatisfied with?" Gu Eighteen was not a good-tempered person, there was no good person in the Gu group.
"The other aspects are very good, they are very thorough. But there is one thing that is not suitable. "
"Oh? Speak. "Gu Eighteen felt strange, this was targeted at someone.
"He …" Old Green Rhinoceros pointed at Pan Yu: "This person is not suitable to be given so much. He is the former leader of the Source Iron Beast tribe, right? Source Iron Beast tribe has no benefits to our Gu group, we could still collect information in the past, but now, we cannot even monitor Shenxiao. His remnant army is still being given so much, I am not convinced. "
"Oh …" Gu Eighteen was speechless.
This was indeed not right.
Giving Pan Yu more was to rope in the Source Iron Beast tribe and give them a chance to develop again. Secondly, it was to give face to Tie clan ancestor, and the Source Iron Beast tribe's hard work in the past. However, in terms of strength and contributions, Pan Yu was not worth so much.
A king without a kingdom, he was just a stray dog.
"Old Green Rhinoceros Ruler, in the past, the Source Iron Beast tribe provided us with a lot of …"
"That was in the past." Old Green Rhinoceros interrupted.
The scene fell silent again.
At this time.
"Let me say something fair. Old Green Rhinoceros tribe does not lack Source Iron Beast remnant army, a five times difference in distribution is indeed unfair. "Palaeopithecus said.
But these words were not fair.
If the Source Iron Beast tribe had not declined, not to mention five times, even five hundred times would be normal. In terms of actual contributions, the Source Iron Beast tribe also had a lot of contributions. However, those contributions were only for core members like Gu Zu, they were nothing to the Gu group. From Gu Eighteen's point of view, it was normal to take care of them.
Unfortunately, the Gu group did not sympathize with them.
If you did not have the strength to eat, you could not eat.
"Old Green Rhinoceros Ruler, are you looking down on us Source Iron Beast tribe?" Pan Yu also had a temper, he stood up with a cold expression.
"I just don't like how much you eat. So what?" Old Green Rhinoceros shouted.
He clenched his fists.
A layer of strange red runes appeared on his huge fists, they seemed to be both energy and material runes.
Their auras spread out.
Indistinctly, the 'unknown' Ruler, Old Green Rhinoceros, had the upper hand. What was even more obvious was the power of its fists: Elemental Power!
Gu Eighteen's face was full of shock.
Pan Yu's eyes hurt as he watched.
The Human Emperor again.
The Human Emperor's Origin Plan.
In the outside world, people were saying that he had defeated the Human Emperor. However, this was never true. Now, a mere unknown Old Green Rhinoceros, because he had actively responded to the Human Emperor's Origin Plan, was suppressing him in terms of aura … he had not even cultivated yet, but this unknown person was using the Human Emperor's power to bully him.
